The Clergy and Masonic Funerals, A p ries t of the diocese of Gren oble bas sent the fo llowing questions to the Holv Office:1'. May the clergy of a parish ass ist a t the fun ernl of a person not belonging t o Freemason r y, bu t in whose fnn eral process ion th e wembers of Masonic Lodges take part, wearing their ~aelg~s, officia! ly in vited by their vonerabl es, and o!iicially accep ted by the organisers of the funeral to occupy a destined place i n the cortege, the convocation and acceptance hav ing been pnblished in the papers ? 2. Muy th ey do so with only thii3 difference- that th e Freemasons do not wear their badges, the other circumsta nces reurnin iog unchangeJ ? 3. lf the clergy cannot pres ide at such funerals, they will be what are commonly called civil ones , Io this case, cun Catholics aHsist at them, or m ust t hey abstain from doing so? Cau they be excused if, out of mere curiosi_ty, th ey go to see t he procession pass? To which the Holy Office has an• swered in da te of 18 th Jan uary, 1890To th e fir st question-N egatively. T he clergy may not assist at s uch fnner als. 2. To the secoud qirns tion-If the Freemasons aRsist in a body, as a Maso nic society, negatively; if they assist a~ any pr ivate persons might, the clergy may assist at the fnnerals. 3. To the tbil'd question-C atholics must k eep away in those cases in which the clergy are obliged to. To , ee tbc c,irtege pass by without taking any direct part in it is not unlawful.

The Arab Horse. "O h, g ive me but my A.rah steed" was th e refrain of a favourit e ballad of a past g euern tion, but th e Arab steed has of late some what lost caste amongst u s. This, however, according to Lieut. W. A. K err, is due merely to ill .. advised attempts to measme bis speed against that of our modern rncehol'ses. On the rncecou,se the "Arab steed " is manifes tly ut a disadvantag e, being built on lines qnite different from those of our g reyho und -like thoro ug hbred. In his native desert he exists for one pmpose, which is to cat-ry his freebooting owner on his long and rapid ly executed raids. But it is as a hunter and war-horse that the Arab is at his bee t. M r. Ken, who has seen mu ch se rv ice in Iudia 0 where he won his V ictoria Cross, tells us that " in 't he old D eccan day s of saddle, sp ur, and spear the most stirring camp fire tales were of these s uperb animals, who bud carried their ri de rs so swiftly and so gallantly over breakueck ground." Th is is confirmed hy the achievemen ts of A.rubs wit,h the hounds in this co unt ry du ria g tlie last few seasons. "No day," suys th eir admirer, "appears too long fo r th em; no co u n try too big." T he mare Naom i has the crellit of having again and again " cu t down her field" in Suffolk with thi rt een s toue on her buck, and Dillon's mare Raschida has carried off eight j umpin g prizes in public con tes ts. India's chief requirement at this time, acco rcl iu ~ t.o M r. Kon, is an unlim it zd Bl,lpply of good brood mares, such as tho se of full Arab and Barb blood, which used to be bred iu Cape Colony so,ue years ago. A small paluce belonging to the Czar in FinlanJ, has been burnt down , and seven ol the inmates lost their lives.

THE W A. RECORD.

4 Th e King uf Dahomey bas surrendered all the F rench prisoners that were taken by him. Her Majesty the Qu een intends to con fer the dis tinction of K .C.M.G. on l\1r. Stanley, the renowned A frican explorer. The R ight. Hon. W . H. Smith, leader of the Govero ment, stated in the House of Commons yesterday that the Government intend to adopt the proposals of the Select Commit tee appointed to consider und report npon the W . A. E nabling Bill wi th the exception of clau se eight, which bad for its object th e a □ t b o ri sio g of Bills enforcing restrictions in th e immigration of British subj ec ts, to be reserv ed for her Majesty's appr-oval. This clau se the Govel'Oment in tended retaining in the Bill. '.l'he Right H on. gentleman in concluding bis remarks said that it was, at present impossible to fix a date for the Bill to be proceeded with in committee. The members consider, however, that this will take place dur ing the first week in June, if not earlier, and that t he progress made will then be very rapid ; but some opposition is apprehended. Yesterday the Australian E leven commenced thei r first match against Lord Sheffield's team, at S heffield P ark. T he E nglish team of which, D r. Grace is captain, is ve1·y strong. The weather was all that could be desired for cricketing purposes, being delightfully fi ne th roughout the day. The Australiaos were the first at the wickets, and upon drawing stumps, at s un-down, the principal scores were as fo llows :Murdoch (not out) 92 Trott 35 W alters . .. 26 Mmdoch is batting splendidly, but be gave tbree chances. The total score for the first day stands at 190 runs for eigb t wickets. Miss Alice Cornwell has received a tender fo r the construction of the outer harbo ur at P or t A delaide, t be scheme of wbich was recen tly promoted by her, amoun ting to £650,000 . It is believed t hat fi nanciers will be fo und to take up th e scheme if tbe total capital is not likely to exceed £ 700,000. A num ber of South Austrnlian colonists at present in London consider t hat the chances of success of the fu ll flo uting of the scheme are very problematical , owing to Miss Cornwell not being so popular as she was during her previous visit, the M id as Mine having turned out badly. The North Queensland Separatio n Committee arc now hol_d ing meetin gs in London, with a view to fu rthering the cause of separation. Sir Charles D ilke and other p-om inent politicians and writers on .A ustralian mat ters, consider the best course to adopt would be to have on e colony embracing the whole of s ub- Ll'Opical A ustralia, say north of the 20th parallel. Considerable uneasiness is being e xpressed in diplomatic circles concerning the warlike preparat ions of R ussia on that power's fr ontiers, Anotber lunatic asylum fi re is reported from New York, causing the death of eleven inmates, IN T ERCOLONI A L.

The r ace on the Parramatta on W ednesday between Brown, of the Clarence, and the best sculler England can claim ended in a highly unsatisfactory way. It was generally believed by all those who had paid any attention to the two sc ullers that Brown would win the race. .L\.s a matter of fact he proved himself a superior sc uller t o the Englishman; but Bu bear won the race because he was an older hand on the water than Brown. The latter outpaced him and took his water, and then foolishly jammed himself in a corner of the com·se. This gave Bubear his opportunity, and h e fouled his opponent, claiming and obtaining the r ace. The result has no significance.
